The Skill Positions

Quarterback

1. Carson Wentz

2. Nate Sudfeld

3. Josh McCown

Carson Wentz is the starter, as expected. The real shocker here is that Josh McCown takes a backseat to Nate Sudfeld upon his return from a wrist injury. It was assumed that McCown’s past game experience would give him the upper-hand here, but that’s not the case. Not for now, at least. The Eagles seem to really like Sudfeld still.

Running Back

1. Jordan Howard

2. Miles Sanders

3. Darren Sproles

4. Corey Clement

The depth chart has looked like this pretty much all summer long. Aside from Darren Sproles, Jordan Howard has the most experience in the running backs room. Many assume Miles Sanders will take over that spot at some point, but the reality is that all of these running backs are going to get a fair share of snaps.
